Famous quotes containing the word dancers:

    “Proclaiming what choices there are
    For the last dancers of their kind,

    For ill women and for all slaves
    Of death,”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “I have forgiven all the old actors for dying.
    A new one comes on with the same lines,
    like large white growths, in his mouth.
    The dancers come on from the wings,
    perfectly mated.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “So the Platonic Year
    Whirls out new right and wrong,
    Whirls in the old instead;
    All men are dancers and their tread
    Goes to the barbarous clangour of a gong.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
